Pursuant to the New York State Freedom of Information Law (1977 N.Y. Laws ch. 933), I hereby request the following records:

A copy of the current list by subject matter, of all records in the possession of the agency.

Per NEW YORK PUBLIC OFFICERS LAW, ARTICLE 6, Section 87(3):

"Each agency shall maintain:

[....]

(c) a reasonably detailed current list by subject matter, of all records in the possession of the agency, whether or not available under this article. Each agency shall update its subject matter list annually, and the date of the most recent update shall be conspicuously indicated on the list."

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

I am requesting that you contact me at (845) 451-4975 so that I can gain abetter understanding of this request.

Apologies for the delay in responding. Respectfully, this request is sufficiently detailed for your agency to proceed with fulfilling it.

Again, this FOIL request seeks: "A copy of the current list by subject matter, of all records in the possession of the agency." Per NEW YORK PUBLIC OFFICERS LAW, ARTICLE 6, Section 87(3), each public agency within the state of New York is required to maintain such a listing.

Please advise whether your agency will proceed with processing this request as required by the FOIL.

Please advise as to the best way forward with these requests, as you did not return the call from yesterday. Again, the subject matter for each request ought to be clear for each, but please indicate areas where additional details might be provided.

I wanted to follow up on the following Freedom of Information request, copied below, and originally submitted on Dec. 12, 2014. Please let me know when I can expect to receive a response, or if further clarification is needed.

Mr. Lesser,Please contact my office at your earliest convenience so that I have abetter understanding regarding this request. You can reach me at (845)451-4975.R.Cook

We just gave a call and did not receive any response or get through to a voicemail.

Mr. Lesser,Thanks for the literature and request. I will review the document andadvise. Have you received my response to the other inquires?Please advise.

I researched your 3 FOIL requests again and I think the misunderstanding isregarding your request for "A log of all requests for agency records underthe Freedom of Information Law received over the past three years, or asfar back as such records are maintained". As the Poughkeepsie City SchoolDistrict does not maintain a "log of all requests for agencyrecords.......", included in the material mailed to you on January 13, 2015were copies of all FOIL requests received by the district over the pastthree years.

I trust this information brings clarity and closure to this matter.

Thank you.

We received the documents responding to the request for the district's FOIL log.

As noted below and previously explained to Superintendent Cook, this is an entirely separate request for: "A copy of the current list by subject matter, of all records in the possession of the agency."

The particular provision of the FOIL statute that requires each agency to maintain this particular list is copied below for your convenience:

Per NEW YORK PUBLIC OFFICERS LAW, ARTICLE 6, Section 87(3):

"Each agency shall maintain:

[....]

(c) a reasonably detailed current list by subject matter, of all records in the possession of the agency, whether or not available under this article. Each agency shall update its subject matter list annually, and the date of the most recent update shall be conspicuously indicated on the list."

I wanted to follow up on the following Freedom of Information request, copied below, and originally submitted on Dec. 12, 2014. Please let me know when I can expect to receive a response, or if further clarification is needed.
